Year 2010, Volume: 18 Issue: 1, 307 - 316, 01.01.2010

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine whether a difference exists between the developmental levels of children who did and did not undergo project based training. The the study was realized at two independent kindergartens affiliated to the Ministry of National Education at Ankara province. The kindergartens constituted the test group 19 children and the control group 19 children , respectively. This is an experimental study which used the pre and post test control gorup experimental design to determine the effects of project based training on children’s development. General information about the participating children and their families were gathered by using a “General Information Form”, and children’s development was assessed with pre-, post- and retention tests by using the “Brigance Early Development Inventory II”. A total of 99 PBL hours was taught 3 times weekly for 6 weeks 33 days , approximately 3 hours per day. The experimental group received Project Based Training Program 3 days weekly for 6 weeks half a day each time . While experimental children were undergoing project based training, control children from a different school continued their own regular training. . The study has revealed that there is a meaningful difference between the total pre and post-test in favor of the experimental group children in the Brigance Development Inventory II p

Abstract

Bu araştırma, proje yaklaşımına dayalı eğitim alan ve almayan çocukların gelişim düzeylerinde farklılık olup olmadığının saptanması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, Ankara il merkezinde Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı iki bağımsız anaokulu üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Okullardan biri deney grubunu 19 çocuk diğeri ise kontrol grubunu 19 çocuk oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada, proje yaklaşımına dayalı eğitim programının çocukların gelişimlerine olan etkisini belirlemek amacıyla ön test, son test ve kalıcılık testi kontrol gruplu deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, çocuk ve ailesi hakkında bazı bilgileri elde etmek amacıyla “Genel Bilgi Formu” çocukların gelişimlerini ön test ve son test olarak değerlendirmek amacıyla ise “Brigance Erken Gelişim Envanteri II” kullanılmıştır. Deney grubuna Proje Yaklaşımına Dayalı Eğitim Programı uygulanmıştır. Proje Yaklaşımına Dayalı Eğitim Programı altı hafta üç gün 33 gün , günde yaklaşık 3 saat olmak üzere toplam 99 saat uygulanmıştır. Deney grubundaki çocuklara eğitim programı uygulanırken, farklı okuldan seçilen kontrol grubundaki çocuklar kendi eğitim programlarına devam etmişlerdir. Araştırma sonucunda, deney grubu lehine çocukların Brigance Erken Gelişim Envanteri II toplam ön test ve son test puanları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu bulunmuştur p
